Design of power system stabilizers using evolutionary algorithms

Over the past decades, the issue of low frequency oscillations has been of major concern to power system engineers. These oscillations range from 0.1 to 3Hz and tend to be poorly damped especially in systems equipped with high gain fast acting AVRs and highly interconnected networks. If these oscillations are not adequately damped, they may sustain and grow, which may lead to system separation and loss of power transfer.
